Among the fundraising activities that ISE staff took took part in during 2016 were:

An ’Inca Challenge’ competition where ISE staff tracked their steps for a month to raise funds for LauraLynn@HOME. The ‘Inca Challenge’ was inspired by the ISE’s Chief Executive Deirdre Somers' personal fundraising for LauraLynn@Home when she completed the Inca Trail in July

The charities in 2016 were chosen by the ISE’s Charity Committee. The Charity Committee is made up of ISE staff members who volunteer their time to organise and run various fundraising events over the year.
